Richt isn’t commanding Georgia players’ respect or attention
Mark Richt's biggest problem? Players may be tuning him out.
Sometimes it’s not about whether somebody is a good coach or certainly a good man. Sometimes it’s just about whether players are even listening to him.
Mark Richt preaches to his players, “Finish the drill.” They don’t.
He admonishes them about missed blocks and blown coverages and stresses the importance of playing with discipline, passion and a sense of desperation. They don’t respond.
He states the obvious: Don’t get arrested. They do.
I am not calling for Mark Richt’s firing here. Not yet. There are still seven games left in the season. That’s enough time for Georgia to turn its season around, play in a respectable bowl game and most importantly send the message that this program isn’t going down like Pompeii.
But right now, I’m just not feeling it.
Needing to bounce back after a loss at South Carolina, the Bulldogs lost to Arkansas at home for the first time in 17 years.
Needing to play with a sense of urgency to avoid falling to 0-3 in the SEC, they fell behind after two minutes, 43 seconds in Starkville and lost to Mississippi State for the first time in 36 years.
Needing to regain some measure of respect just on their own campus, the Bulldogs lost at Colorado — which had lost to California, 52-7, only a few weeks earlier.
You thought Shreveport was the bottom? Shreveport was just the flashing yellow light.
They used to attack. They used to play with confidence. They used to have resolve. They used to win road games. They used to win any games.
Now the Dogs are 1-4, and there’s probably someone at Louisiana-Lafayette thinking, “How did we lose to those guys?” They’re 2-7 in their last nine SEC games, and Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Kentucky are thinking, “We can beat those guys.”
That’s where Georgia is. What does that tell you?
This is about leadership. Either players aren’t following Richt or he’s leading them in the wrong direction. It is becoming clear that he doesn’t command their attention or their respect because, if he was, Georgia wouldn’t be sliding into oblivion.
When college teams lose, certain things get over-analyzed. Here are two of them:
♦ 1.) Recruiting: Some believe Georgia isn’t getting the athletes it used to. Bunk. Watch the games. The Bulldogs are no slower or weaker or smaller than their opponents. Recruiting services have had Georgia’s classes in or near the top 10 annually. If you believed them before, don’t stop believing them now just because it’s convenient.
♦ 2.) Strategy: Football is about toughness and discipline, blocking and tackling. It’s not about the offensive coordinator not calling enough short passes. Offensive coordinator Mike Bobo may not be the next Mike Shanahan on offense, and Willie Martinez certainly wasn’t Brian VanGorder’s equal on defense. But Georgia’s slide is not about X’s and O’s. It’s about focus and determination and knocking people down.
Richt’s job should be in jeopardy. Why? Because not only are the Bulldogs not very good, but there is no sign that they are getting better.
The offensive line, expected to be the strength of this team, has been less than average. Freshman quarterback Aaron Murray, the biggest question mark, has been one of their best players. A.J. Green reaffirmed in his first game back from suspension that he is a special player but his presence in Colorado also pounded home the obvious: This isn’t about one player.
Richt gets criticized for not showing enough emotion on the sideline. That might be unfair. But here’s something worth asking: Is he obsessed enough?
There’s no question Richt wants to win. But he has a lot more things important to him in his life now, like taking mission trips to Honduras. It doesn’t mean football isn’t important to him. Anybody who has seen him after losses knows otherwise. But college football coaching, particularly in the SEC, has become a 24/7/365 job.
Richt in a conference with some truly obsessed coaches: Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Bobby Petrino. Watch Derek Dooley and you can almost see sparks coming off his head. If we see that, you know Tennessee players see that.
Do you get that sense with Richt’s players? Are they ready to jump at his every command?
Georgia has players. Georgia has facilities, money and certainly fan support. But right now, there is no direction, and if Mark Richt is leading, the problem is that nobody is paying attention.

I was in Co….talk to alot of parents…they hate Richt and most of the players do as well except the ones that he show favor to..
one mom can be on the field with her camera and only take pictures of her son and his friends…a dad that can walk on the sideline..Richt can
I know plenty of ex- players for CMR. I have never heard any of them disrespect CMR and never heard one say they Hated him. Stupid ass comments unless you have specific examples. Probably one of the few parents son that he did discipline.

“The Bulldogs are no slower or weaker or smaller than their opponents.” With who we’ve played so far, I think that’s right. We’ve got power AND speed. (Not the likes of Florida or Alabama, who have outrecruited us, but enough to match most programs in the country.)
The DL is a little undersized. The OL seems a little slow or maybe just tired. But the main thing is our players just aren’t playing smart, disciplined, team football. Raw talent is not the issue.
I’m not sure how long a defensive transition should take. Would love to hear some coaches’ comments on that.
It’s almost like as a team we’re waiting for something good to happen. And when it does, like in the 2nd quarter against Colorado or the 4th against Arkansas, we’re not closing out.

Richt’s choice of professing Christianity is surpisingly the most evolutionary choice (of course you can’t get more adaptive or evolutionary than Agape). Richt’s won with different types of QB’s, different offensive coordinators, different defensive coordinators, offense, defense, at FSU, at Georgia, no season with less than 8 wins in 20+ seasons on any team he’s coached, I’d say he’s actually among the most adaptive and evolved coaches in the country.

Jeff, good article but I think the whole program is getting very weak starting with the new AD, all he is wanting is more money with another home game, and weaker teams so our soft hitting arm tackling defense can look good. I believe we need to demand the coaching staff earns the salaries they are making by taking control and instill discipline on and off the field. I don’t think playing easier teams is going to make us a better team, we have to make adjustmnets in the game when the mistakes are happening, not the next week during practice whick I also beleve is soft and the players are showing that. I think it is time for all AD, coaches and players MAN UP and get us back to playing hard hitting aggressive Georgia Football. Go Dawgs

If you did follow them closely, you would know that the administration, to include faculty admin., think he is the best man to lead UNC, and that his character and integrity are not in question. Look at Tar Heel Times for today, and see the support he is getting from the school, as well as current players’ families.

First off, 5150 P.O.A.D, football isn’t a battle, it’s a GAME. We watch it for ENTERTAINMENT. If you want to hear about a battle, talk to the young men and women in our Armed Forces. ‘Nuff said.
As for Mr. Schultz, I disagree about your criticism of Mark Richt’s leadership ability. Do you remember the start of the 4th quarter of the Arkansas game? We were down 14, he rallied our team on the sideline and we came back to tie the game and were in position to win. Yeah, we lost (for reasons I won’t discuss), but if this team, coaches included, lacked the will you say they do, we’d have lost by two or three scores that day.
In all of these losses, we have been competitive throughout the ENTIRE GAME. Yeah, we haven’t gotten it done but we’re not quitting either. We’re just not making the plays. How many times did we WIN wacky games like this? I can think of two last year alone, those being SC and Arkansas.
I’m not trying to say everything’s hunky-dorey because it isn’t; however, the house isn’t burning down, either. We just have some problems: an electrical glitch here, some splintery wood there and some water spots somewhere else.
What I’m trying to say is that we have the pieces.
The defense still has problems, no doubt, but do you guys remember the points we gave up over the last four or five years? 40+ to UF twice, 40+ to Arkansas, 35+ to UT three times, including half a hundred in Athens, 45 to Tech, do I even need to keep going? The defense, while far from perfect, if doing PHENOMENAL in terms of PPG in comparison to Martinez’s defenses. It just needs time.
On the offensive side, Aaron Murray looks great, AJ Green continued to show his athletic ability, Kris Durham has played extremely well (will he be back for UT?) and Caleb King (aside from the fumble) has shown a nice mix of elusiveness and speed over the last two games. The offensive line showed a bit of improvement against Colorado, but it still isn’t up to snuff.
Mark Richt deserves this year and next to try and fix things. Everyone who’s howling about getting rid of Richt this year needs to look at UT’s football program when considering the potential ramifications of irrationally throwing out a SUCCESSFUL and well-loved head coach.
Also, the season isn’t even HALFWAY over. UT is the halfway point. Let the season work out before you condemn the team.
For all we know, UGA could win out, UF could lose to LSU, and SC could lose to Bama, UT and UF, meaning that UGA would go the the SECCG. Am I betting on that? Heck no! But stranger things have happened…

About mission trips. I think they are great. Our church sends a group out every year. We even send a medical doctor along. Now, when he is out of town, his patients must see another doctor. Their needs are met, although some just choose to wait till he returns home. When CMR is out of town, who fills in for him? Huh? As head coach, who? Right, nobody. I daresay no one can make head coaching decisions when CMR is out of town. Plus, a mission trip takes a lot of time to get ready for, and to recover, after returning home. Shoot, in reality, a 3 week trip takes 5 weeks out of one’s time.

“Is he obsessed enough?”
It used to be that when someone was described as “obsessed,” it wasn’t a good thing! Now, it seems to be the standard by which we judge every profession, including college football coaches. Thank goodness there aren’t that many Nick Sabans and Urban Myers out there who have no other purpose in life than to coach football.
If the message we’re sending college students is that you have to be “obsessed” in order to be productive, balanced and a contributor to society, we’re headed down a terrible path.
Mark Richt’s lack of “obsession” may cost him his football coaching job (at UGA anyway), but at least he’ll have his health, his integrity, his priorities and his family intact. That’s a trade-off he should take anyday!

Teddy said it best:
“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

Attitude is the key to just about everything. Positive attitude I am speaking of. I managed high powered sales men and men that woke up motivated. They had the insatiable appetite to sale and win and to succeed. Been there and witnessed this over only 30+ years.
This positive attitude thing transfers from one industry to another without fail. Heck, Pastors have to be motivated, MDs, phamacists, teachers, lawyers and enterpreneurs. Athletes do too. So do coaches. Mark Richt is a torn man …………his faith full time or coaching.
UGA does not have that spark. They are fired up until a negative happens. Folks, this is due to poor leadership and preparation. Preparation breeds confidence and winning breeds attitude. UGA ain’t got any of this.
Until the AD and Dr. Adams see a money defecit ………. they will do nothing. This ugly thing has afflicted UGA for about 4 years and it has really gotten far worse with this year and it is a result partially of the ugly summer problems. The W/L record might be some bizarre form of player pay back to the alumni calling them names,etc.
Some of them will be kicked out of school anyway, so it can get better, when we get a tough minded coach.
Go Dogs.
Bama in Atlanta
October 4th, 2010
3:45 pm
Bama went through a similar situation with Mike Shula. Shula was brought in after the Mike (”I was too drunk to remember”) Price debacle mostly to help clean up the UA image with a secondary hope that he could be a good head coach, even though he had only been an assistant to that point. I think Shula and Richt both have character beyond reproach and were very good assistant coaches but Shula seemed to lack that certain intangible that makes someone a great head coach.
A lot has been said about Richt’s demeanor on the sidelines and that if he is not breathing fire every second that he cannot be a successful head coach. Granted, Nick Saban looked like someone whizzed in his Cheerios even though Bama was up 24-3 against Florida and he has certainly brought success back to the Capstone; but I also think people like Tom Landry, Don Shula and Jim Tressel have been able to produce championship results without having to reach a certain quota of smashed headsets per game. Therefore, it’s not just sideline demeanor that is the measuring stick of a great head coach.
With that said, an excellent article was written when rumors were swirling about Mike Shula being fired. I can’t remember the author or I would be glad to give credit, but the message was that the Bama AD needed to make a decision as to whether or not Mike Shula was the guy to lead Bama football back to the winning standards and if Shula wasn’t the man then they needed to cut bait and offer up the proper lure to get the big fish that would get the job done. I’m not going to state my opinion as to whether Richt should stay or go, but UGA just hired a very good AD and I think his first major decision at the end of the season is to make the determination that either Richt is the man to do the job or not. One of the determining factors would be for Richt to explain to McGarity his detailed plan to get UGA football back on track. If McGarity is satisfied with the plan then he needs to throw his full support behind Richt so that high school recruits have a sense of security about who will be in charge the next year. Now, if Richt is not the man, then it needs to be announced immediately after season end and before a bowl game if UGA qualifies for a bowl game this year. That way, McGarity can get his list of candidates together, raid the UGA Athletic Club coffers and reel in the big fish.
Dawg Nation may be divided in their opinion of Richt and like all passionate SEC football fans the blogs will continue to light up the rest of the season. I know it’s tough to do but Bama fans were in the same position a few years ago and my advice is that you have a competent AD so let him do his job after the season is over and the pendulum will eventually swing the other way.

Jeff, good article but I think you’re about 3-4 years late with this one. Their offseaon arrest record just about every year, if not every year he has been there, speaks for itself. The discipline needed in this program has been sorely lacking for years. Sitting a kid for the 1st half of a game because of a DUI arrest or underage alcohol possession may be acceptable to CMR but its embarrassing to me. I’m really curious if he even follows up on his players when they aren’t on the football field.

O.k, so Richt is one “helluva” human being. I agree with that . But, he’s not getting paid over 2 million a year to be a “helluva human being”. He’s getting paid to be a ruthless “S.E.C HEAD FOOTBALL COACH”. That means having a disciplinary program that gets into the heads of those who don’t listen to him (including coordinators). I’ve said it once in these posts before: If you drop my football, you sit on my bench. If you cause 2 penalties, you sit on my bench and don’t start next game. If you get arrested, you don’t play on my team unltill and unless I decide I need you. Look at the great coaches of all time. They were “Gods” to their players and fans alike. CMR needs to give up “sainthood” and become a “God of the gridiron”.

Big time TECH fan here and I only saw about 4 plays from the game Saturday night but it told me a lot about where Ga. is right now. All 4 plays were in Colorado’s last possesion. On one Colorado ran a power play where the FB would kick out the DE. The FB didn’t have to work too hard to do that b/c the DE ran aound the block conceding the hole. I think it was the very next play and the defense strung the play out and the LB (38 I think) makes the tackle for a 1 yard loss and gets up like he just made the play to seal the national championship. I mean they’re going to lose and he’s strutting around. Personally I hope Georgia loses every game but it’s pretty easy to see there’s too many I’s on that team and not enough we’s. You may not want to admit it but the numerous arrests point to guys who think more of themselves than any thing else and are of weak character.

Nick Saban would have played the punter if he was out of replacement CBs for the idiot that did something like that.

Rob, those great road trips started 2 years ago with going out to Tempe for ASU, last year at Stillwater, and ended this year with Boulder. And that’s all you’re going to see until McGarity leaves Athens. We would be getting another one in 5 years if he hadn’t been such a pu$$y and backed out of the Oregon series. But after Saturday, you know if he hadn’t had cancelled the Oregon games last week, that would have been the 1st thing he would have done this morning. The only reason I’m sure he didn’t cancel the Louisville home and home for next year and the year after is Louisville is down which equals a chance to win (which there wasn’t with Oregon)

Diversity at UGA
October 4th, 2010
4:02 pm
POAD’s comments about diversity, or the lack of it, at UGA differs from other SEC/ACC/Big 10 schools in what way? The athletes on virtually every major college football/basketball team will have a larger percentage of blacks than the student body at large. If you know of any exceptions please mention them. There are plenty of things to be critical of about the UGA football program right now, but this is not one of them considering the same situation exists at about 99% of other major athletic programs.
